Description

  • American & French oak
  • Grilled stone fruit
  • Vanilla & butter
  • Rich & satisfying

"It's opulent and sumptuous, offering grilled stone fruit, mango, citrus peel and vanillin oak notes on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate displaying plush texture and creamy mouthfeel. Beautifully framed by juicy acidity, making it delicious and hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2023

"Bright, medium yellow, even colour throughout. This has a voluminous bouquet with aromas of melon, caramelised banana, citrus, spice and butter popcorn. Full-bodied, aromas of melon, caramelised banana, lemon cream enriched by spice, butter popcorn and hazelnut. The wine is full and bright with a vibrant acid balance; toasty details elevate and rich, satisfying closing" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Sep 2023

"A lifted, fruity and varietal bouquet of Chardonnay with scents of apricots and peach, vanilla-cream and a touch of butterscotch. Bold and expressive with a smoky vanilla oak quality. Plenty of weight on the palate though not full-bodied - and it doesn’t have to be, it is satin textured with contrasting acidity. Flavours of yellow stone-fruits, apple and baking spices reflect the bouquet. Rather delicious, youthful and plenty to like with its refreshing lengthy finish. Best drinking from 2023 through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2023

Beautifully integrated tropical flavors such as pineapple, mango and papaya, with citrus notes that explode in your mouth. These flavors delicately intertwine with aromas of vanilla and honey to create depth and balance throughout. A hint of toasted oak and butter rounds out the long, lingering finish.

For over three decades, Kendall-Jackson has remained relentlessly committed to producing only the finest quality wines from grapes grown in California’s cool, coastal vineyards. We carefully match climates and soil types for each grape varietal, and then guide each vineyard lot throughout the entire winemaking process.
